    Dont buy a Carbon Steel GTI

    My Dealer rang me today and invited me around to check out their new Carbon Steel Demo GTI, just like I had ordered. I had never seen one in the flesh and only went off a few posts here a recommendation from the Dealer. Originally was going to order a Pearl Black GTI.

    Just warning everyone . . . DONT DO IT , dont buy a Carbon Steel GTI

    because . . . . .


    I want to be one of the only people in OZ to own one . . .

    Man . . . what a FANTASTIC colour. Photos DO NOT do it justice.

    You have to see one up close to appreciate what it looks like.

    Dont get me wrong, to each their own and that sort of thing, White looks good, especially with the Red Brakes, Black just looks sweet, and Red, well . . . Red Cars just go fast . . . but , for me . . . decision was spot on.

    EXTREMEMLY happy with the Colour Choice.

    Just the agonising wait for delivery . . . May/June

    The wait will be SO worth it

    Will post a couple of pics when I work out how.

    I saw this thread and my heart raced a little bit. I thought it was all going to be a doom and gloom thread about how it looks worse in real life or the quality is not as good and that I've made the biggest mistake of my life cause everyone is raving about Candy White.

    I'm so glad it wasn't

    But that wouldn't be nearly as much fun would it

    I gather you haven't seen one in the flesh ?

    I seriously, seriously doubt you'll be disappointed.

    Nope, I had to go solely off the photos, but I knew it was the colour I wanted! Hopefully I should get it this week!

    Candy white > Carbon steel!

    Nah, I've also seen a carbon steel in person and it looks great. It's a really cool colour, almost black, but not your regular grey either.

    I agree - you are too late. Although mine is being born shortly, my dealer had the foresight to order one for their demo - as all other colours were same as previous (or close enough to it).

    Excellent choice. Carbon Steel is the new black, so as to speak.
